Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1158316A1] Diffraction grating comprises a number of parallel diffraction structures arranged on a support and each comprising a frame (3) extending from the base surface of the support. The frame has a rectangular cross-section and the width (w) of the frame measured vertical to the central plane (7) of the frame and parallel to the base surface is less than 100, preferably 20-60, especially 50 nm. Preferred Features: The height (D) of the frame over the base surface is more than 200, preferably 200-600 nm. The grating is made from doped quartz, comprises a dielectric layer system made up of layers of Al2O3 and MgF2 or LaF3 and MgF2, and has a coating made from aluminum.
